There’s nothing quite like homemade lasagna, whether you’re a tomato sauce and Italian sausage evangelist (with extra shredded mozzarella and fresh basil on top, please) or prefer a veggie version with creamy white béchamel—you know, the kind that bubbles over onto the baking dish and creates a delicious crust. It’s the ultimate comfort food, and we’re constantly working on new recipes to celebrate it. You can spin lasagna with harissa and lamb, or swap ricotta and sausage for goat cheese and chorizo—read on for some of our favorites.

Grandma's Lasagna

Go to Recipe

Although we tested three different Bolognese-style lasagnas with creamy béchamel sauce, we decided that the definitive lasagna had to have tomato sauce, chunks of meat, shredded mozzarella and creamy ricotta cheese.

Zucchini Lasagna

Go to Recipe

Comforting and hearty, this lasagna uses roasted zucchini slices in place of the usual pasta. Roasting the zucchini preserves the texture of the vegetable and keeps the finished dish from becoming soggy.

Pumpkin Lasagne

Go to Recipe

No need to roast fresh pumpkin for this dish (although you certainly could); using canned unseasoned pumpkin puree is much quicker, and it works just fine. Like most lasagnes, this one is easier to cut if left to set for ten minutes or so before serving.

Free-Form Sausage-and-Three-Cheese Lasagna

Go to Recipe

This gooey lasagna is packed with cheese and sausage. The style is called free-form because the pasta can be arranged in different ways—for instance, folded over the filling—instead of traditionally layered.

Celery Root and Mushroom Lasagna

Go to Recipe

“In Marche, we only make lasagna for special occasions like Christmas,” Fabio Trabocchi says. For this streamlined version of his luxe lasagna in bianco (white lasagna), he layers flat noodles with a supremely rich sauce, along with a root-vegetable ragù, fresh mozzarella and whole basil leaves.

Lasagna-Style Baked Pennette with Meat Sauce

Vegetable-and-Ravioli Lasagna

Credit: Rick Poon
Go to Recipe

Fresh spinach ravioli are a clever shortcut for making lasagna: Each ravioli is already a mini layer of pasta, cheese and vegetable. This recipe is especially fast to make using pre-roasted or grilled vegetables from the deli counter.

White Lasagna Cupcakes

Go to Recipe

Do lasagna cupcakes sound like a great idea or just plain wrong? Either way, they’re part of a savory cupcake trend—but feel free to call them mini lasagnas, too.
